LOL this was exactly I did when my phone was bricked. Lucky me, my phone's motherboard was replaced for free (because of the warranty). They said I must pay $200 if i was not in warranty

Hi guys,
My O1 is dead. I'm gonna send it for repair but I have a question. I've rooted my device and even installed custom recovery; flashing several roms as well. When my phone went dead, it was on a stock 2.2 rom. Now for the question: Will they repair my phone for me? ^.-
Thanks
It depends, I heard ppl that had custom roms and they got their phone repaired
Just don't tell them anything and hope for good
If something inside is fried then you might not be so lucky.
Oohh... Btw I managed to flash my phone's firmware with kdz updater but when I used the official LG application to update my software, it totally screwed up. Irony, isn't it?
Lol. It's good you didn't turn it in then. They would have voided your warranty. You can only go and ask them to repair it for you when the flashing chip on the mobo is dead

Mine was repaired, after failed on flashing a different stock ROM.
The previous working rom was the wrong official one but non-rooted
I got it back after a week with new PCB

If it shows some life signals, then you need to COMPLETELY BRICK it.
If it's completely dead, they
1) cannot find what have you done in it's software
2) they're gonna believe the story easier
3) they're gonna put a new PCB, so it's like having a new phone.
try and flash using kdz flasher use a stock 2.2 rom
press vol up + menu button and then connect the usb port to pc .
flash from kdz hope it works mine was dead too but i gt the phone back to life using the method and choose cs emergency while flashing

I see... I have another question. When I attempted to update using the official LG Updater, my phone was such in recovery halfway through the process. It was still in emergency mode but according to the Updater, I was asked to remove the battery. My phone went dead right after that. Do you know why it went dead?

Talked with a support agent from LG, they gave me an Authorization number that a have to write on the shipping box with the phone... Lets see what happens
If you have the TMo optimus T, use the V10L kdz file. The flashing utility has a force mode that WILL work even if the computer does not detect the phone. You just have to make sure that nothing else is plugged into the USB port, and that your phone will power up.
I've bricked my phone 3 times now fiddling with removing stuff from the LIB directory from the stock rom (stupid me) and have always been able to recover it.

KDZ updater?
I think it was. I'll have to dig out the file from my android stuff when I get home.
V10L_00.KDZ file and the english KDZ_FW_UP program.
the mode used was CS EMERGENCY.

Ok, pop me a msg, my last option to revive it, is sending it to LG
Did a conversion to original 2.2.2 V10q with KDZ and when turning on the phone, it didn;t turn on (as expected). Not responding at all. Power, button combination or some @#@# like that - not working. So, sent it to LG Service through VDF Romania 4 days ago and now i have a new PCB with new IMEI and a fully working P500. So, that was my solution for meddling with updaters, ROM's, etc. and forgetting to disable LGE Modem in Device Manager (it was late at night)
I tried to downgrade my phone form 2.2.2 to 2.2 to root it because gingerbrike didn't work so i used kdz updater and it gave me error while in emergency mode and tried again but the same so I disconnect it and removed the battery and put it back and now the phone doesn't start at all in any way i mean no lg logo no android logo no nothing just turned off device
Is it bricked? and what to do?
sorry it is old Q but i did a lot of reading with no use
yes you are right, you bricked your phone.
Never remove battery to switch off phone if flashing failed
I get It now
OK so what shull I do???????

if your phone is in warranty goto service center they will replace motherboard or replace whole handset for you.
And they wont be able to find out any thing regarding custom rom or recovery if you have used also, as motherboard is burnt.
same happened with me, they replaced my handset
no
It is dead i can't turn it on at all

Never ever plug out battery in emergency mode.... it hard bricks the phone....
I assume that u r not a mobile hardware engineer so there is no home made solution for it...
if ur device is still under warranty.. take it service center n say that the phone died while updating lg firmware... they will replace the pcb then

Have you tried reflashing with kdz, but using another firmware? Maybe you used a wrong one.

And how many days they want to do replacing operation??

just don't tell them that your phone was rooted.
say that you were updating firmware via LG Support Tool and then the installation stucked.

this does void warrant but who knows that u rooted it when it will not even boot up.... do the thing the other guy said just above this post...
n I guess u don't like to mess up with your phone by trying to replace things by yourself... good luck..
and no. of days they will take depends on the availability of pcb with the service center..
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-3
Solution is only one..let bring it to LG SC if phone is unresponsive is easy for them to change pcb without controling if you make root or not..they don't cares about it..
But be sure that your phone is out of control it means that you can't be able to turn on..and is still off!..
I know it because one time I had flashed recovery through mobile data and was wrong way..phone died and after 4 days I had have my mobile back from SC..
Okay First thing is to give the phone to lg support center and don't tell them that was rooted before that I should ensure that the phone is dead
okay I will do that today thnx all and wait for my feedback
are you tried hard reset after using kdz because my friend faced same problem after using kdz but after hard reset my friend phone work like new
you can do hard reset using
try this
Remove battery, replace battery Press Volume Down + Call + Power button. Release Power button when you see LG logo but hold the other two unless you see new screen
go the optimus me group you will find what you want for optimus me and you will get fast support then xda

Hi guys,
HERE'S WHATS HAPPENING
I cant turn on my phone. Not even thee phone screen lights up, and the buttons too wont light up.
i tried to charge my phone but it doesnt seem to charge
i tried charging the battery out from a separate battery charger -> helpless :'(
HERE'S WHAT IVE DONE
I flashed cm9 by HepHappy (11 may)
i used it for 2 days and was awesome !
and then i dont know what i did, i got a bootloop and was stuck with it
then i tried to enter recovery and it doesnt enter recovery. it goes straight to the bootloop
then i was able to go to emergency mode and flashed official 2.3.3 firmware with KDZ
then i got an error from KDZ upgrade error and something like that...
now i tried to boot to recovery but it said
fastboot detected
fastboot () something like that i dont remember
and still the emergency mode was working..
HOW COULD I BE DUMB
then i took the battery out and kept it aside for a while
I HAVE SEVERE PROBLEMS. THE USB PORT ON MY OPTIMUS ONE IS KINDA BROKEN SO I SHOULD HOLD MY USB CABLE TIGHT TO GET IT WORKING. NEXT I DONT KNOW IF ITS UNCHARGED BUT OFFLINE CHARGING DOESNT WORK IN CM9
NOW MY PHONE DOESNT EVEN TURN ON OR GOES TO EMERGENCY MODE OR ANYTHING
IT JUST STAYS DUMBB!!!!!!
HELP ME GUYS !
are you sure that emergency mode isn't working ? .... I had the same problem but i revived my phone with the fastboot method (it is explained somewhere in the forum ) .

Sounds like a hard brick to me, if it wont come on at all and you tried all possible ways then your phone is done, I would sell the phone on ebay for parts and use the money towards a new phone.

Charge the battery alternately
Try charging your O1's battery using other means. Like borrowing another O1 and charging your O1's battery using that. Then see whether your phone is responding in any way. If it is, I'm sure KDZ will help. Also see whether the USB port can be fixed. Otherwise, you'll be taking great risks again. All the best.

Are you (at least) still under warranty ?
if YES, go to LG and try to convince them that was an accident (during an update)...
or just try another battery of your friends, the KDZ method worked for me too .
